We have tile floors throughout the house with area rugs in the livingroom and family room. Will this machine be effective?

This is a piece of junk. The only thing it is effective at is parting you from your money.

Yes, we have a large amount of tile in our house, and this is what this vacuum accells at. I always keep the rotating brush on - which does a much better job on tile than tile vacuums without a rotating brush.

Yes. It will work great. But make sure you set to the roller mode at all times. It picks up more stuff.

I have found that it works on a really low pile carpet. It isn't as fast as it is on a tile/wood floor.

I use it to vacuum llbean water hog door mats. It does a decent job, but not complete. The spinning attachment is fairly weak, so I use the regular wood floor attachment and "scrub" the rugs with it. I guess depending on the thickness and level of dirt, it should do an ok job.

I would think so if you used it on low setting. It says for tile, vinyl, wood, but since all I have is tile and carpet, I haven't tried it. It certainly does clean tile well!!

I used it on my carpets, not on my hardwood floors. It would probably be okay, but I think there are better machines out there for hardwood floors (like the Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner that I purchased on Amazon.)

I would think so, I use it on a dimpled carpet in the dog room and it does ok. I have doubled coated dogs, and it gets all the fur that falls off, plus dirt and even small pebbles. Four paws up for the Bissell.

We have hardwood floors but my daughter has a plush 5'x8' area rug in her room that I use my Bissell on and honestly, I wouldn't want to have to clean an area much larger than that with this. If you have carpet in your house I'd suggest a full size upright. We had one years ago, also a Bissell, and it worked great.

The vacuum works best on hardwood and tile flooring. It's not as smooth and easy to vacuum on area rugs.It works but you have to use more effort when vacuuming the rug. It's still a great stick vacuum.

I don't know for sure as we have low pile carpet area rugs and hardwood floors in our main living area and medium pile carpet in the bedrooms and medium pile (but brand new) carpet in our finished basement. It performs well for us in each room and it's easy to change the carpet pile setting with your foot as you are vacuuming.

I have laminate flooring with rugs. No problem so far. I use the shark on the lower setting on the floor.

yes. it works like a carpet sweeper, in my opinion. go back and forth. we have hardwood and area rugs and are very happy with it.

We have hard floors with area carpets. The vacuum seems to be able to work on all the surfaces. The suction head is the main link in the process.

Not really. If the pile of the area rug was very low, then maybe. It is really best for hard floors.

Absolutely! It works very well on my hardwood floors but it is also capable of going across our low grade area rugs without getting stuck.

I think it will really struggle with rugs. I would spend the extra on a roomba. I had to return one of these because it would struggle switching surfaces.

Hi. It does do very well with rugs, etc. Really a powerful little machine. I think its's great and the extra length cord is a definite plus.

Depends on the type of floor your cleaning. If its plush carpet like mind, you might have to roll it back and forth a time or two. I hope this helps.
